NFL Thursday Night Football livestream on Twitter is a hit

Twitter's experimentation with streaming NFL games has been met with largely rave reviews during Thursday night's game.

It's the first of 10 Thursday Night Football games that Twitter(TWTR) will be streaming this season.

The endeavor seems to be paying off for the little blue bird.

Twitter's game stream has been free of major glitches, and the quality seems to rival HD even on bigger screens. It's also very easy to find the stream -- it's the first item in the Moments section of the Twitter app.

Most users praised the service and shared their excitement over the new way to watch games.

Others suggested Twitter stream more live sporting events.

"Honestly, watching football on Twitter just means Twitter is the only thing I need in my life," said Twitter user @_Levantine.

It's not year clear how many viewers tuned into the stream, but it's unlikely the number will rival those who watched the game on TV. One user, though, poked fun at the fact that he was watching the game on his phone instead of the TV he was sitting in front of.
